Pickup at home
At 7 am the van collects the family. At roughly 2.55 m tall it cannot use an apartment ramp, so bags are loaded at the gate. During the monsoon pack each child a towel and spare clothes, since the spray at the viewpoints soaks everyone. Families in the south of the city can reach the expressway by NICE Road. Breakfast is planned at Ramanagara, less than an hour away, so a light snack before leaving is enough.
Family breakfast
Breakfast near Ramanagara, about 45 km out, on the service road beside the expressway. Thirty minutes gives the children time to eat and stretch. Ramanagara is the silk town whose cocoons feed Mysore silk. Ramadevara Betta, a few km from town, has a Rama temple on top and India's only vulture sanctuary, declared in 2012, but the climb of a few hundred steps is for another day. Janapada Loka folk museum is nearby too.
Wooden toys
Toy shopping at Channapatna, roughly 60 km from home, takes the van off the expressway, which skirts the town, and onto the old road. Allow fifteen minutes for the children to choose. Their lacquer colours come from vegetable dyes, so they are safe for little ones. A government craft centre in town runs 32 lathes, and toys are turned there through the day. The town lies on the Kanva river at about 739 m.
Vada and coffee
The van turns off for Malavalli at Maddur, roughly 80 km from home. It is worth a short halt. Ask any stall for the flat, crunchy vada that carries the town's name; the story goes that it was first sold to train passengers at the station. Fifteen minutes is plenty. Children who like birds will enjoy Kokkarebellur, 12 km away, where pelicans and painted storks nest in the village trees between October and March.
Through the cane fields
Malavalli is surrounded by sugarcane fields, and the van drives through it about 110 km out. Malavalli lies about 24 km south of Maddur, and the falls are in its taluk. Shimsha falls and the Shimshapura power station are also nearby, smaller sights for another trip. The road crosses the Kaveri after the town, and the turn for the falls comes soon after the bridge. Children should be buckled in for the last bends.
Both falls
A tempo traveller takes about three hours with breakfast and a snack stop. The van parks at the viewpoint lot. Shivanasamudra has two falls, Gaganachukki on the Malavalli side and Bharachukki on the Kollegal side, a few km apart by road, so the van takes you to each. Keep two to three hours for both. Hold children's hands on the wet steps; in the monsoon the falls spread up to about 300 m wide.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Shivanasamudra is about 145 km from Bangalore by this route, the Mysore expressway to Maddur and SH 33 through Malavalli, so the round trip is close to 290 km. For a family in a tempo traveller, three hours each way is realistic with breakfast and a snack halt.
One day at 300 km and ₹24/km is ₹7,200. Driver allowance ₹500, tolls and GST extra.
The 17 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes, at the viewpoints with railings. Keep them close near the steps.
July to October, when the falls are full.
Yes, on the way home.
Yes. From July to October the falls are full and weekend crowds are large, so the last stretch near the viewpoints gets slow and parking fills by late morning. Leave Bangalore at 7 am, or go on a weekday. The expressway part is quick in any season; the delays are after Malavalli.
Bring a plastic bag for each child's wet clothes and keep a dry set in the van. The luggage space behind the last row holds towels and bags, and the van stays parked at the viewpoint lot, so you can change before the drive home. Spray at the viewpoints soaks clothes in the monsoon.
